I think the balance was about right when you consider most of the topics covered in the opening ceremony were a celebration of Britian's contributions to the world and most of those happened prior WWII while Britain had a predominantly white population. I remember seeing one of the industrialists was black and thinking, "fairly unlikely there would have been a rich black guy in the days women didn't even have the vote".
Wasn't there a section that represented the mass immigration of West Indian workers after the war period? Then there was the kids who lit the cauldron, they weren't all white.
I don't think positive discrimination to over express our diverse ethnic community would have done anything more than scream "we're not racist here, honest" and what's the point of that?
